SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It has been said that Europe owes her independence to the obstinate stand made by-the Spaniards against Boo naparte. It may with equal troth be said, that .E,ttrope is iodehted to Spain for the general discredit into which the principles of the Holy Alliance have fallen, t Mee their triumph in the Peninsula. The Cartes might oc eationally beton.san g uine and indivreet, but . they gave a stramrkeiternent to the national mind, and iMprovernents of every description 'were making their opliearance. - But since the triumph of social order, ot of the Altar and the Throne, or of Ki»gseraft and Priesteraft, for we will not quarrel:about names, the energies of the nation are rout pletely paralysed. nespotism appears there with a hide ousness which revolts even the anthers of its triumph, and admonishes the nations to guard trgainst a similar fate b y the e 6 tablisbAent of Constairtional securities, and a Government, of law. Spain 'has' silenced the oracles of the: }l6ly she has afforded an adthirahle cation; of the benefits Which flow from the Monarc:hicalprm eir;ie. MA( the contrast between Spain and England at Oie 'present moment. The - People of the manufacturing districts have been long suffering the most dreadful priva tions ; but With the exception of the attempts to break power-looms in a few places some months ago, they have remained proof against all inflammatory appeals to them, and little apprehension is entertained of any interruption of order,' even under the most trying circumstances.-4n Spain, on the other hand, all is suspicion and fear. .The aovernment, like a traveller in the dark, startles at ever) , hound. Such are the fruits of pv4-fling by constraint, and repressing the circulation of knowledge and inform,- t Chrmileir. It has been, suggested as extremely desirable that Par liament should interfere to limit the age at which persons should be allowed to hold public offices of trust and acti vity; and that no one, for institute, should be appointed to 'any such office above the age Of or allowed to hold it after seventy. The "aye ‘eneseentem!" so wisely laid down by the, poet, and the jiistice of which is so rea dily seen and acquiesced in by every man in the case of others, is what no one applies to himself. " All men think all men mortal but themselves." in which their operation has proceeded; and it thus puts it in` our power to form a sounder judgment concerning the fut urehepes of the country. To teach the people to look to Parliament with a reference to such adVantages as these, :is to impress 'Vat them a wise lesson ; but to tell them to call , upon Parliament to pat anent' 'to evils Which arise not from legislative.' enactments, but frothE the 'general rela tions of society, is to foster a most mischievous delusion. The proper function of Government is, to secure to every Man the free exercise of his ,owrr industry, uniunPOed , bY the violence either of his fellow subjects, or of foreigners.; In order to maintain the institution!, ..by which alone that purpose can be effected, great resourees must be played at his disposal ; and rirentristances may no doubt arise, Un. der which it may be advisable to divert part of those re -sources frOm their primary object, and apply them in the: direet, 'or indirect., relief of a distreSsed.population : such a course, however, should never be adopted except .under the pressure of very extreme necessity. In itself it is al ways'an evil, and the utmost that can be ,sktid for it is, that, though it occasions some mischief, it may, !under very extraordinary circumstances, prevent. more.,—New 7l»tes. . .

The following are the circumstances :—The Sieur Froid de Fontaine, one of those aims who make : use of the, lei sure afforded them by being in garrison, to render them selves more accomplished in the grad art of seduction,. undertook to captivate the affections of the wife of the Sieur Leroux, and Unhappily succeeded but too well. He conceived at the time the project of:carrying her off from her husband. The elopement of Madame Leroux was fixed for the 24th of June, 1818.. It was agreed that she should pretend to take a jpurney into the country for the purpose of visiting her grandmother, and should betake herselfto a private retreat,Whereafterwards the Sienr Frail de Fontaine should join her. In order to baffle the first Search 'Of her husband, anti to avoid exciting his suspicions, she wrote to him that her grandmother's servant not having come to ceceiv her,sbe had taken up her residence wi tha lady other acquaintance, and requested him to send her boxes RIO band boxes. She wrote at the same time to her grandmother, to inform her that sbe was on a visit to one. of her cou sin* and begged her not to contradict the story site bad told her :husband. in a short time it became evident to M. Leroux that his wife Was emleavouririo to conceal her- Self from his knowledge. A month after, the SieurFrOid de Fontaine set out also. Some indiscretion out his part caused it to be, known . that be was gone to join her, and beitig,poitsessed of tome property .in the department of .Vosges, it was presumed that be had selected that part of the country for her retreat.. An Uncle of Madame Lo- roux filled one of the higher sittiationa in this department.

M.

This having succeeded, the person made asecond attempt at Mr. Turner's ; but the former trick .bad been found out, and when he *dled again at Mr. Buck's house, expecting to receive another set of plate, he was introduced to Read, who took him into custody, and searched him. For a long time nothing could he found of a,stemicioua nature ; but on a close examination, the cape of his coat was found to he almost padded with pawn . brokers' duplicates for plate and jewellery to an enormous amotmt, and amongst them Mr. Turner's plate., The prisoner was remanded, and is to be brought up again this day (Thursday), when a number of charges are expected to be Preferred against him. MAWR. EBON Two Paddington stage-coach-drivers, named Gulliver and Chaidler, were charged • with assaulting Richard Fell, Alio a stage-coach-driver, in the employ of Mr. Bull, of Paddington-street, a proprietor of these stages. The Magistrate said that 'he would, on ordinary occasions, re commend an adjusting of these squabbles, which arose from jealousy : but that these Paddington stage-enachArivers hail of late become an absolute nuisance to the public from their quar reling*. He ordered the defendants to find bail. Mr. Dawkins, the purveyor of asses' milk, living in the New road, was samMoned by Tho Mas 'Fisher, - a basket-maker and dealer in asses, belonging to the village Of Bushey, in the county of Herta, for•retaining , a female donkey; his property. Captain BsaantifyroN. —I would recommend you, Mr. Daw, kin*, (for I "insure from your appearan c e y ou, would wish t o do right) to make Thomas Fisher compensation. The parties retired, and On their return it appeared that Mr, Dawkins had offered to give I 25., but the countryman Stroked his hair, and said*" No, dang it; the ass was worth the 21., and I won't take no less." • ' • Captain BROUG HTON advised Fisher , to accede, as the best al ternative, pointing out to him the fact, .that he had no farther jurisdiction : he must proceed' further by bringing it before the Court of Requests, or go to law, which would subject him to lose of time .and more ripener. Thomas Fisher thanked his worship for his advice, but ex pressed his determination to go to law. UNION-HALL , .--A man named William North, a farrier, in the employment of Mews.

We have been favoured with the following extract from a private letter received by a gentleman in tilaigow,TtoM his 'friend in Argyllshire. '• ' Argyllshire, 25th July. " Archibald Sinclair, one of my herds in the island of Gigha, and *hi), having been born upon the banks of Loch 'Awe, . is not acquainted with seafaring; he, tioever,' hid procured a small boat for the purpose of fishing about the shores, and on Friday, the 7th of this month, he went : to his boat for the purpose of mooring her in a safer creek, and having loosened the painter, he leaped on hoard.. By .the agitation • produced, one of the oars went overboard; and, in an attempt to recover , it; 'Sinclair tumbled into the sea; but continued to lay hold of the gunwale, and'lry everting himself, sue, eeeded in getting into the boat; 'but, in the exertion, the second oar' went eiverbeatil,' and in this helpless state he wa carried to sea a 'strong current. It was late in the evening, and his cries, for assistance were not heatd, nor Waa the unfortunate navigator and his yawl discovered. — When night closed uponhim, he war :considerably to the southward of Gigha, : and his bark directing her course to the Irish coast. In the course of the night, by the time of the tide_he ova carried considerably to the north of the island, and' on Saturday morning' . he was abreast of my estate of Keils, upon the mainland 'Opposite to Jive, 'but which, in his alarm, he did not recognise, idthoUgh he hind been a herd there for three yearS. The boat will egried backwards and forwards in the sound 'of Jura all Saturday, without being discovered Sinclair sup posing himself all day upon the Irish coast, as he had not been aware of his course being changed by the change -pf the tide on ,Friday night. On Sunday morning he was fortunately seen by the master of a Aiigiut vessel, returning from the Northern Isles, just as the current which sets into the very dangerous gulph of Corryvreckan, between the islands of 'Jura and Scarba, w a s carrying him and beat into that dreadful whirlpool, and where, a fatal termination would, in all probability, iw v l4 i 4 gl e ti w' o l t l i ell . ell llo l ‘stlQr s usp e ct , eC AV rt o lYa u akg t ee food al lfty tfl i i : i r rst t l i fi r er i er n s k ia7 f t r e o am o ter F saai r t i . da lloutr Y : af ti t u e fi rtar mNo v ri he li t ing. he em barked, till he was picked up on da search the coasts of llisleasyse,"Juerras, and baa k..

In as small farm in the mini - Mine of Bondues, lived with their uncle, three young girls, named Araelia,Catherine, and Adelaide, Ghesquiere. )n the feast of Mk Sainte, while' Oahe:tine Adelaide, and the uncle were gone .tt, church; Amelia remained'alone, saying her prayers near the lire. On their retutn the sisters found Amelia hive; in the middle of the chamber, bathed in her blood. They flew for assistance, but it was too late—Amelia had ex pired. In spite of the most rigid investigation this hortibleirt would, in all probability, have escaped with impunity, in the night between the 16th and 17th of December, a robbery had not been committed at Wambreehies„ on the Sienr .Tean Baptiste Fablinc. Public report accused a person;named Seraphim Joseph Hesbelle, who had set out to join the regiment to which he had been' drawn. This man had been in the service of the sisters Ghesquiere. When spoken to concerning the crime committed at Bo h o dues agaitist his.fermer mistre sses, he turned p ale, bited great emotion, yet positively denied the aerusetion hut, on being repeatedly pressed at different times, he. ended, overcome by remorse, at length in confessing his guilt, and declared that he had committed the crime in 'company with aniaccomplice named Desmettre. -There was at that period, in the prison of L ille, a oleo named Eugene Desmettre, - under condemnation for rob 4 berg. On his being exhibited to him, he affirmed him to have, been his accomplice, but the description he had before given could not, by any possibility, apply ti) this itulividual. The police at leugdi discovered that thrse was another Desinettre, having his Christian name Pierre Francis. To him the description giVen applied very forcibly , Never. theless, Hesbe lle pretended at first that this man had!so participation in the erime; but at len g th, having unde,rgooe afresh examination, he .owned th at the murder had been committed by himself and both the DesniettreS. Thifk lowing is his confession ;,-Eugene proposed to him, in the month of October, to go and rob the. farm of Ghesquiere.: The day was fixed for the feast of All Sailit*. -- Eugene appointed for their place of meeting the entrance of the wood of Bondues, saying that he would be there With a friend. HesbelleartiVed at the spot agreed upon, an d there found the two Definiettres. " COme on," exclaitue they ; " are we all' right?" Hesbelle exhibiting abn'e signs of hesitation,. they: threatened to kill him if _he 'lid( not proceed. They set out , and arrived at t he back 0 the .fitrm, which they entered by the . orchard. ilesr'e lle . went the first into the kitchen. Amelia was s ittilitil window looking into the court. She had a pray er4'acw in her hand', which she laid upon the window seat on sce. , ing thern, and wished them good morning; showieg the same time some uneasiness, and looking about her with anxiety. Hesbelle• took a seat near the tire, and* his pipe; :Eugene filled his ow with tobacco, but `did sat light it; Pierre Francis was sitting upon atable. All at once Eugene. said to .him, " It is you who:are to begin . the business." " What business ?" •cried An alarm. " You will see , " re p lied Pierre Francis. " 111 " , said he, " I fell upon. her with my fists, and Anal I had knocked her down, Pierre Francis approached , a ttempted to:cut:her 'throat with a piece of iron. Ib e the poor girl's hands, while Eugene lifted up her ' Pan% „ Not being able to dispatch he r b y these means, he.to,ol, haminer out of a small cupboard, and gave it to me, ing, " Here, strike here. I took it and struck or four herd blows svith the hammer on the head r.r t"r unhappy victim, and then threw down the fatal inserts' meat. As life was, not qUite extinct, Pierre Francis p s i ed it up, andfinished the bloody business., Afterwao: we broke open the two boxes, which we knew contailLtu the money : one in the girl's chamber, the other. in "7. of their uncle.
